    Modern Gun Crowd

    I'm guilty of doing the "one hit and put it back in the truck" thing with my 280 AI.... people all down the line blasting away trying to hit the 600 yard steel... did it for my pre deer season sight check this year, 1 round, 1 hit, and good enough lol. Makes some people mad... instead of...

    I use it for plinking loads... weak 38 power but loaded in 357 brass. It's an economical powder, not a powerful one. Be careful, it can easily be double charged without noticing.

    A good read

    To add to that... I'm not seeing Christianity shrinking, it is heavily under attack, but I'm not really buying that its shrinking. I've been going to a sort of new church for a year or so now, my son knows the pastor and his Dad and sis, they started the church 8 years ago from nothing... in...

    A good read

    We're not going to be eradicated... God's people turned from Him time after time, and were punished for it every time... but also, when they realized He was the one true God, and changed their ways, He restored them.... every time... keeping His promise to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob... this went...

    Handgun Ballistic Gel Testing

    Yeah I've been a Lucky Gunner customer for a good while now, they're pretty much local for me, I tend to get anything I order within a day or 2.... good prices, usually have stuff in stock, and they get it out the door quick... I'm only about 70 miles from them.

    Bedding Actions

    I've only bedded one myself ...model 70 30-06 in a McMillan stock with pillars...I used MarineTex grey epoxy which worked great, the rifle was a decent shooter in the factory stock, but in the bedded McMillan it was creeping up on benchrest accuracy, with loads it liked, such as 168 grain...

    New carry pistol...big change

    I put the M&P 2.0 9mm back on today, first time in a few weeks... after handling the Bodyguard 380 for all that time the 2.0 feels like a Desert Eagle in my hand 🤣

    New carry pistol...big change

    I put 200 rounds through it yesterday, mostly WWB but also some Hornady Critical Defense. I don't find it hard to shoot, just different... it's not a Glock 19 or M&P 9 2.0. After some practice, I can make rapid 15 yard hits on an 8 inch steel gong just fine...maybe not as rapid as with my M&P...

    New carry pistol...big change

    I'm a 2nd generation driver... Dad had his own truck, I've always been a company driver, I never wanted the headache of being an owner operator...I been at it almost 20 years, 3 million miles, and have enjoyed it... mostly. As a company driver I do have decent benefits and retirement... but...

    New carry pistol...big change

    I agree that Kahr is a nice option... it just wasn't quite small enough for me to hide conveniently...I looked over and handled every possible 9mm option... the Glock 43, Sig P365, the PM9, the Kimber micro 9's, the Springfield options, etc. I really liked some of the 1911 style options, even...

    New carry pistol...big change

    I keep a "go bag" kinda thing with me... it's a Rush 24 backpack... it'll hold my Bible, a change of clothes, meds, and other things I need to take if I'm out of the truck for a couple of days (like if the truck is in the shop and I'm in a motel)... but I'm just not comfortable having a gun...

    New carry pistol...big change

    Pocket rockets... always understood they have their place in the world, just never liked the idea of depending on something so.....weak. But, things change, situations change - and we gotta adapt or get left behind. After my heart attack a while back I've been talking a long look at how I...

    Paul Harrell

    Yep ... been praying for him every day since he announced it. Been a fan since he first started his current channel back in, I think, 2012... would have enjoyed meeting him but never have, maybe I'll see him on the other side sometime.

    Smith and Wesson Lever Gun?

    Both the 460 and 500 run at magnim rifle pressures....65k psi for the 460 and 60k psi for the 500. Not just any lever can do that... the bolt thrust is hard on them. There are some Winchester lever clones out there than do run the 460 and 500 though... VERY expensive rifles. I'm not sure a...
